Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc. is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles due to electrical interference within the electrical harnesses and modules. This defect may cause the instrument cluster display to intermittently go blank, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."

The lack of display information may cause operator confusion, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 50 units of the 2019 model year.

Arcimoto will notify owners and perform corrective actions free of charge, including installing a flyback/damping-diode to the exterior of the wiper motor, adding filter and surge protection to the display backer board or inline, and installing Check RAM Corruption (CRC) software. The recall began on January 24, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
